So, I've known you since 2003. How do you feel you've changed in the last ten years?Dang. First question received and that's quite the doozy ( Read more... ) -
Anonymous Questions!
Hey! Remember when I used to try to get my friends to ask me questions, and then I'd answer them in a LiveJournal post? I miss doing that. It's a little bit attention-seeking, a little bit nostalgia, and a little bit just wanting to write some bloggy-type posts and needing some writing prompts.
Ask me questions by commenting on this post. You can do ( Read more... ) -
"Life of Pi" Movie Review (*SPOILERS*)
I have mixed feelings about this movie. I loved the book, and although I often try to look at flim adaptations as a stand-alone movie, I found myself unable to separate the two. This is due, in part, to the fact that the movie really did try to keep true to the book. This worked well enough once the story got to the actual shipwreck, but the ( Read more... ) -
On voting for the "Lesser Evil".
So, I admit that for the sake of my blood pressure, that I have been actively avoiding political discussion on social media. Still, I do feel that I need to say the following:
First, the usual disclaimer: Yes, I voted for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008. I didn't expect him to magically fix the country or even accomplish everything he promised. I didn ( Read more... ) -
New Charity Art Commission Auction!
So, given my little rant a few days back about how it is more useful to directly contribute to the causes you believe in than to boycott companies who oppose your cause (or even to support companies who support your cause, really), I figured I should put my money where my mouth is. Unfortunately, I do not really have any money right now, but I can ( Read more... ) -
Regarding Chick-Fil-A's Stupid Opinions
1.) Why are we acting so shocked? I was under the impression that Chick-FIl-A's anti-gay and anti-choice stances and donations were pretty much common knowledge for well over a year. Are we all just suddenly angrier because the CEO openly admitted it?
2.) Consumer boycotts, with rare exceptions, are generally not effective in making a company change ( Read more... ) -
Why the Victims Didn't Shoot Back
I feel like before I really get into what I want to say, I need to make a disclaimer that I am actually not against people owning guns. I, personally, dislike guns and it is unlikely I will ever choose to own one. I am in favor of reasonable restrictions on gun ownership based on background checks, and required safety training. I think people ( Read more... ) -
How I know my subconscious hates me.
Last night, I slept very poorly. I kept having nightmares about horrid creatures that should not be allowed to exist even in fictional environments.
They had bodies which were pretty much like tarantulas, in a variety of bright colors and patterns. Their legs, however, were not like spider legs. They were long and segmented, looking almost like ( Read more... ) -
New Adventures in a (hopefully) Healthier Jessi
Oh yeah, I said I was going to start writing here more again, didn't I?
So, just as a recap for anyone still reading this who doesn't read me on Facebook, a number of months back, I was diagnosed with a uterus goblin (okay, well technically, it was a giant polyp that was causing my uterus to do terrible, goblin-like things). After a series of ( Read more... )
